over his grip, opened it and got the photo
and turned to hand it to Miss Morrison.
As be did so he looked down the chambers
of q silver-monnted 22.caliber revolver.
The next instant it exploded, and the ball
struck him fair in the forehead little to
the right Of the centre and an
inch above the arch OF the brow.
Another moment and a second shot
struck him an inch to the left and tIifie
higher. Barely conscious he fell to the
floor, and he says that he can recall the
fact that Miss Morrison sat down upon the
floor beside him, took his head tenderly
upon her lap, wiped the blood from his
face and lips, murmured endearing words,
showered passionate kisses upon his lips
and the ghastly wounds her hand had in
fiicted, and then placed his head again ten
derly on the floor, arose with sigh and left
the room. The rustic of her silk dress was
the last he heard, and he lost consciousness
and did not recover it until late this morn

Hotel Berwick, claim the case was
simply an attempt at suicide on the part
of Harris.
